    Lamb Sliders- what's left before I remembered to take a photo! Soooo good!!
    Kayla A.

    Great service, ambience and food. The lamb sliders were AMAZING! Bison Burger was different but still savory. Tomato Soup and Wings were very tasty too. Definitely a good spot to try when in the area!

    Bison Burger with truffle fries, Lobster Mac & Cheese and Brussels Sprouts

    I'm from Indianapolis, and my boyfriend found this spot because he was craving lobster mac n' cheese. We dined here for Valentine's Day, we loved the atmosphere and thought the decorations were adorable. For such a relaxed vibe, the food was top notch. Even though the food was great, it wouldn't have been a five star review without our server. Dana is legitimately the best server I've ever had in my life. Tentative without being annoying, knowledgeable without trying too hard to sell, and just all around so kind and vibrant. She is the best!

    Perfect spot for beer and food
    Jennifer V.

    Kate was amazing! Her recos were spot on (lamb sliders and Amish chicken sandwich with loaded brussel sprouts). She kept the delicious beers coming, she checked in just the right amount of time so we didn't feel rushed but felt cared for. We had a prime spot so we appreciated how we were serviced. Ask for Kate, listen to her recos and enjoy!

    Pulled Pork Breakfast Skillet- has potatoes, big slices of onions, big slices of peppers.
    Ashley O.

    It was good! The bar has a dark kind of vibe, we got brunch on Saturday- got the pulled pork breakfast skillet without avocado and chives. Me and my friend ordered very similar- service was good, prices were good. It was a nice place to try while we were in the area!

    Nashville Fried chicken Sandwich

    Arch City is a Short North staple! It has such an inviting atmosphere and it's perfect for every occasion. Whenever someone from out of town visits, this is one of the stops you need to take them to! The service is awesome and they have great weekday specials! Arch City has some of the best shareables and starters around, with the classic Brussels sprouts or French onion soup, to their southwestern spring rolls or specials like their Irish nachos! Their sliders and burgers are always phenomenal and all of their sandwiches will leave you happy and full! Go on and stop by!

    Salmon Sandwich
    Dajawon Y.

    I stopped by Arch City Tavern and the service was great quick, attentive, and friendly, which really stood out. It was early so there weren't a lot of people inside which helped cause I was on a lunch break but nice inside and cozy. The food, however, was a bit hit or miss. I ordered the salmon sandwich and a Caesar salad. The salad was okay; they put a generous amount of dressing, which I actually liked, but the croutons were burnt, so it threw off the overall flavor. The salmon sandwich was the biggest disappointment it had barely any aioli, wasn't seasoned at all, and ended up tasting like nothing. It looked great, but the flavor just didn't match the presentation. Overall, I'd come back for the service, but I'd probably try something else on the menu next time.

    Reuben rolls
    Nadeane H.

    The food is meh Here. I had the Reuben egg rolls. They were flavorless and barely had any filling. But they were fried well - crispy. The wings are very spicy. The Caesar salad was good. The service was not attentive. Our waitress kept disappearing and we waited for drink refills and to bring our check. The ambiance is typical bar - kinda dark. But they do have windows that completely open to the outside sidewalk.

    Meatballs
    Jasmine T.

    Great ambience here! Everyone seemes relaxed, as if they come here often. I came during happy hour and got a cocktail and some meatballs. The drink was good but the meatballs were just okay, they could've used some more salt. I also took the Nashville chicken sandwich to go and it was just okay well, it had no particular flavor but the portion was huge. It had a really thick chicken breast and the fries were good.

    Awesome spot! In town for a home show. Burger looked amazing. Tasted even better. Nice kick in the sauce. Savory and touch of spice! Those truffle fries wow! Highly recommended!

    Margarita pizza
    Melanie S.

    we stopped here for dinner before the cocktail contest downtown. Service was friendly and they had some solid Happy Hour specials. I had one of the $9 HH pizzas, and it was a great size for the price, as well as tasting great! It was still warm enough to have the doors rolled up, and the indoor outdoor vibe was nice. Some bar TVs on, and I'm sure the drinks are solid!

    Monday burger
    Mark F.

    Fries were really great (not truffle just regular). Burger was fine. Overcooked and under seasoned. Might try again.

    Christine C.

    I was visiting the area and craving a burger. The reviews led me here! I ordered the arch city burger. Not my fave, but it was descent. Great beer menu and definitely seems like a popular spot. They have a few tables that line the windows. Nice indoor/outdoor feel. Service was attentive.

    I love the Brussels ! Huge serving and delicious!

    Do they have a dress code?

    No. It's a casual bar/eatery

    Is it Kid friendly?

    I'd say not particularly . More of a place for happy hour or to go on a date or dinner and get drinks. Im not sure about the day time though.

    Can you watch basketball games here?

Very much tasting, not necessarily to get full *Service: Friendly, attentive, but not hovering *Ambiance: Clean, quite during happy hour, however, starts to fill up as the evening continues. * Menu: Limited happy hour menu, don't expect a full menu, but what they offer is done well Must Order: * Sticky Roasted Carrots. I don't like carrots and I couldn't stop grabbing a piece Drinks: * The Sycamore Old Fashion... very strong, but I like strong drinks Cost: $33 w/o tip | $44 with tip (split between 2 people) * What we ordered: Sticky carrots Meze Scallops (not on happy hour menu) The Sycamore Old Fashion Italian 90 *Comes with complimentary bread. Also, gluten free options* Best for: Casual check in Low key date maybe if you work near German Village. Traffic during happy hour is a bit backed up I wouldn't go for solo dining, unless I sat outside during warmer weather. However, the feeling is best for a quick get together with 1-2 friends. Would I come back? ... Yes! Definitely for Happy Hour.

It was the perfect spot for a relaxed, drawn-out dinner where we could enjoy drinks, take our time, and really soak it all in. We had a reservation and were seated right away, which set the tone for the night. Everyone ordered cocktails (I've heard the espresso martini is one of their best, even though coffee isn't really my thing), and honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the drink menu. We started with the Meze, which included house-made falafel, tzatziki, hummus, sun-dried tomato couscous, assorted vegetables, and naan--everything was fresh and so flavorful. They also brought out complimentary focaccia right away, which was such a nice touch. For my main, I ordered the seasonal scallops, and I also tried the chicken thighs with fig, goat cheese, asparagus, parmigiano reggiano, and couscous--both were absolutely amazing. I'd go back in a heartbeat just to try more of the menu. We were there for about 2-3 hours, and at no point did we feel rushed or like we were inconveniencing the staff. The entire experience felt thoughtful, welcoming, and just really special. Highly recommend The Sycamore for your next date night or girls' dinner!

We both got the fried chicken BLT, the spoon bread and mac & cheese. The spoon bread is simple corn bread, but it was really good. The mac & cheese was homemade and delicious. The sandwiches were outstanding and huge. My daughter and I could have split one between us. Instead, we brought two halves home. Not sure what this place used to be. High ceilings with barn beams and an old style post office mail box layout, like you might see in an old hotel. Regardless, would not hesitate to come back.

    Love this place!…read more Came in here last weekend and sat outside for a warm spring evening. We did make a reservation somewhat last second, but were easily able to get an outdoor table. We actually got to the restaurant a little bit early and they ended up seating us outside, which was perfect. For food, I had the fried chicken sandwich with french fries and mac & cheese. My girlfriend had the chicken sandwich as well, so we each got a different side. The chicken was perfectly cooked without being overly greasy or oily. The french fries were delicious, and the macaroni and cheese was heavenly. Our server was very friendly and intensive to our needs. I felt like our food came out very quickly. Overall great time here and can't wait to come back. Love going to this place in Cincinnati as well, so I was very happy when they opened one up in Columbus.

    Yeahhhh ngl, this was extremely fire. The flavors were melting on my tongue…read more I definitely asked for the sauce on the side but I'm glad my server forgot / didn't listen to me bc this was tewwww good. The steak could've been more on the rare side but tbh i still ate the entire thing... & the veggies in this dish were divine. I could kill a whole tub of the carrots and cauliflower. 10/10 The place itself is so insanely busy so def make a reservation ahead of time & try to avoid Sunday brunch / lunch or you'll hit the church crowd. Service was great as well. Parking can be a bit annoying and tight but nothing too bad that will make u want to choose another restaurant.

    Great vibes, disappointing service and execution Came here…read morefor a company dinner after a long, rough day, and I was really hoping Kitchen Social would be the reset we needed. The ambiance was definitely vibey and perfect for socializing, with a lively atmosphere that fit our group of 13 well. Unfortunately, everything after the hostess stand went downhill on the service side. Our server felt disengaged from the start and rarely checked on us. It was hard to tell if we'd said something wrong or if he was just having an off night, but even after asking other staff members to send him over, he never came back to check on our table. With automatic gratuity already added for a large party, it was disappointing to experience such minimal attention and care. What I had: * Mediterranean Salmon (shared): The portion split felt more like 75/25 than an even share, which was a little odd for something asked to be split. The salmon itself was decent, but the hummus quickly overpowered the dish if you mixed everything together. * Teriyaki Ribeye: I requested medium rare and received a steak well past well-done, dry enough that it was basically inedible. It almost tasted like it had been reheated rather than freshly cooked. Since our server never checked in, I had to flag someone else down to get it replaced, and the remake took about 15 minutes to arrive--even though the cut was thin and already marinated. * Old Fashioned: The cocktail came out quite watered down, with very little depth of flavor. I would've asked for it to be remade, but again, our server was nowhere to be found. The bar program also felt surprisingly limited for a place that leans into a social, cocktail-forward vibe, which added to the letdown. Between the uneven service, lack of follow-through, and several misses on the food and drinks, it's hard to say I'd rush back--especially when there are so many other strong options in Columbus.
